Conservation Covenants
Asked by: Lord Kirkhope of Harrogate (Conservative - Life peer) Tuesday 20th May 2025 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Kirkhope of Harrogate on 20 March (HL5840), what annual returns they have received regarding conservation covenant agreements made under section 117(3)(b) and (c) of the Environment Act 2021 to conserve land for reasons of archaeological, architectural, artistic or historic interest. Answered by Baroness Hayman of Ullock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Under section 136 of the Environment Act 2021, a designated responsible body must make an annual return to the Secretary of State. This return must include the number of conservation covenants under which an obligation was owed to the responsible body during the reporting period, along with the area of land to which each covenant relates.
As part of the first annual return to Defra by 31st of March 2025, where responsible bodies were able to provide additional information regarding the type of covenant, they reported 43 covenants that conserve the natural environment. No covenants were reported that conserve land, or the setting of the land, as a place of archaeological, architectural, artistic, cultural or historic interest. |

Solar Power: Batteries
Asked by: Lord Kirkhope of Harrogate (Conservative - Life peer) Monday 16th June 2025 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the need to require that solar farm and battery energy storage system developments are backed by sufficient performance or decommissioning bonds to guarantee the removal of infrastructure and the full reversion of land to its former use in the event of insolvency or project failure. Answered by Lord Wilson of Sedgefield - Lord in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) We do not currently have plans to require solar and battery projects to be covered by decommissioning bonds.
Solar farms are normally temporary structures and planning conditions can be used to ensure that the installations are removed when no longer in use and the land is restored to its previous use. Solar panels can be decommissioned relatively easily and cheaply. It is a legal requirement for any company that imports, manufactures or rebrands solar products to join a ‘Producer Compliance Scheme’, which then ensures their legal obligations are met, most significantly for the collection and recycling of old PV panels. |
